review of an administrative agency's decision under an “arbitrary and capricious”
or “substantial evidence” standard of review, the following pleadings are not
appropriate and must not be filed with the court:
(A) an answer to the complaint;
(B) a motion for judgment on the pleadings;
(C) a motion for summary judgment; or
(D) a motion to affirm or reverse the agency's decision.

Plaintiff’s counsel is directed to follow the Local Rules and file the appropriate pleading.
DATED this 9 November 2020.
